PARALLEL BIO-COMPUTING 2007 Workshop on Parallel Computational Biology, Gdansk, Poland September 9-12, 2007 http://pbc.pcz.pl Bioinformatics is the science of managing, mining, and interpreting information from biological sequences and structures. This is an exciting and emerging topic that requires solving hard computational problems and handling large volumes of data. Many new challenges in the life sciences require high performance computing. The goal of this Workshop is to present the latest research in high-performance computing applied to bioinformatics. We are especially interested in parallel and distributed algorithms, memory efficient algorithms, and design of high-performance software for clusters, massively parallel systems and grids. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Bioinformatic databases * Computational genomics and proteomics * DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping * Gene expression and microarrays * Gene identification and annotation * Molecular sequence analysis * Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms * Protein structure prediction and modelling * Parallel algorithms for biological analysis * Parallel architectures for biological applications * System tools that support large scale high-performance bio-computing The PBC Workshop will be held in conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2007, Gdansk, Poland, September 9-12, 2007 (http://ppam.pcz.pl). Paper Submission and Publication The workshop will consist of dedicated sessions containing selected papers. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their originality, scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics. Papers presented during Workshop will be included into the proceedings of PPAM and published after the conference by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Information regarding paper preparation and submission will be announced soon.
